So I finished Portal last night.  What a cool game!  It was a great change of pace from every other FPS I've played.  With other games, I sometimes get frustrated or annoyed at the puzzles and then give up and just search for a walkthrough on the Internet.  I didn't get that from Portal.  I thought the puzzles were challenging enough to be fun, but not nearly as obtuse as those in other games.
Also, I was quite satisfied with the length of the game.  As I get older and grumpier, I find I have less patience and less time in general to waste on video games.  Portal was just the right length to keep me busy for a few nights, but not too long to feel like work.
Overall, it was a great game.  And now my gaming plate is clean, just in time for GTA 4. :)
